Verdict

Choral Festival won this last year from a pound higher but she's been starting to show her age lately and generally saves her best for Windsor nowadays. Hector's Chance is still 8lb higher than for his last success here in 2013 while all of Glentenn's victories on Turf have come at Brighton, though he is actually a pound lower than for his latest success. APPROACHING could be another winner for the in-form Amanda Perrett as he's a lot less exposed than his rivals. He steps up in trip but wasn't stopping over a mile at Bath so should stay. Richard Hughes could have partnered Filosofo but instead rides Russian Remarque and Jonny Portman's maiden could go well at decent odds on his return to action.
